mongolfiera

Una mongolfiera colorata, alta dai 25 ai 40 metri, in volo libero o vincolato, non passa mai inosservata. E oltre all’eccezionale bellezza, garantisce un’elevata affidabilità e sicurezza grazie alle nuove tecnologie costruttive. Queste caratteristiche la rendono ideale per un uso ludico e pubblicitario. Sport Promotion, grazie alla partnership con la più prestigiosa azienda europea produttrice di aeromobili, è in grado di realizzare mongolfiere di qualsiasi colore, dimensione e forme, riproducendo loghi o prodotti da promuovere. L'azienda ha inoltre una grande esperienza nell'organizzazione di eventi, sportivi, culturali o di altro genere, che prevedono l'impiego delle mongolfiere pubblicitarie.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you everyone for your quick replies. Liliana, yes, I saw that but it's not exactly what I was looking for. This one is tied to the ground and doesn't go anywhere ;-)"

Molto gentile. Ieri per una risposa IT>EN mi sono permesso, motivando, di fornire una soluzione diversa da chi mi aveva preceduto ma che incorporava un termine solo 'suggerito' come opzione ma non come risposta definitiva. La reazione è stata acida..

Mongolfiera / Pallone Aerostatico

It's a device composed of a huge thin and resilient container made of tissue , to which a kind of big "basket" is tied . People take their place on the basket on which , on its turn, a device producing a flame is mounted. The flame heats the air and makes it lighter so that it can fill the tissue container blowing it up.
Consequently all the vehicle (inflated balloon + basket) can fly .

neutral texjax DDS PhD : this is a nice answer, but you could have used the agree option since somebody already gave the same translation.
